LETTER: Gun violence claims the life of another Las Vegas teen.
Chase Stevens/Las Vegas Review-Journal @csstevensphoto
It is so unfortunate. Another student shot dead, this one after playing basketball (“A grim year at Shadow Ridge,” Tuesday Review-Journal). A true tragedy for all involved.
In the aftermath, we hear and see family and friends grieving, crying, saying how wonderful a person their friend was and saying how this must stop. They’re correct.
But what we’re missing is the kids themselves. They have an idea who’s carrying — many are other friends of theirs and they need to say, “Hey, no need to bring a gun to the park. Why don’t you leave that at home so nobody else gets killed?
If enough friends and parents speak up, it will absolutely save a life or two. And isn’t that a start?
